(Cbeers and tumuli f .)—l am ready to hear what he has to say. Here I am, and here I shall be with: you, gentlemen, for a fort night—(Loud laughter and discordant noises.)--1 am glad to per ceive that the effect of this information upon you is different from that which it produced upon Sir Thomas Lethbridge, whose lip quivered the moment it broke upon his ear—(Tumult, and cries of "he is absent!")-1 know he is, although 'it is his duty to be, here. It is not respectful in him to show "the white feather," and run away—(Loud laughter, applause and hiesei.)---I told Sir Thomas Lethbridge that I owed him and his brother Magistratee something.which I would pay off to them some day or other, for meintheir'inclness to the gnol.—(Laughter.)—And I assure them, that but for, that kind consideration of theirs, it is more than probable I would not be a candidate for this County, which 1 hope, with - the blessing of God, to represent in the ensuing Parliament. 7 --(l2oars of laughter.)—Aye, the day of reckoning is come. 'Sir Thomas appealed to my humanity last ni g ht for not continuing thepoll; but 1 hope my ears may be cut off and nailed to the gatei of that prison in Which I was incarcerated so long, if ever I move from this place while the law allows me to remain here. (Laugh ter, cheers, and hisses.),--The freeholders are allowed fifteen days every seven years to express their opinions. There is not a free holder in the county who shall not have the opportunity, and I only regret that they have not 10 days, the limit of my solitary imprisonment, to give vent to those opinions and feelings—(Loud cheers and hisses; the former greatly predominant.)—Sir Thomas told you that I was giving the people trouble. I certainly give . trouble to the Sheriff and his assistants; but I am sure they do not regret their attention to duties which they perform so much to their own honour.,—(Loud cheers.)—l shall give them no on necessary trouble. As for all the rest of the county, they may go about their business if they please-,-they need not trouble 'themselves, if they did 'not like it, in coming to the poll.--- (Laughter.)--I think it will be a difficult thing for my worthy antagonist, the Baronet, to gather together his scattered forces, and 1 m glad that Mr. Dickinson is satisfied with his 287 votes, although the number is not a third of what he polled at the last election. Mr. S'iticitv.r —Aye, but then be bad to contend with a gen tleman. Mr. Hon , said, there had been no more than 1,300 votes polled between the Whig and the. Tory. A Faitzuotnag—Why do you not poll the rest Yourself? - - _ Mr. HUNT said, because he hail not the power of exercising ens atom of unjust influence over the freeholders-236 honest men bad done him the honour of coming up for him. He felt greatly flattered by their votes, and he flattered himself that in the middle of next week his party would wear a different face. His freeholders knew that they had fifteen days to come up, and' there was not one of them who thought he would he capable of rimninz.— , (Laurhter. cheers, and hisses.)—At all events, „,, rtel w , m1 ,1 0 , 1 on until he ,-0;oo tiro, weruseives, ilti had s,!en some who admitted that they had been deluded, and expressed their regret at having been deceived.- - -(Cbeers and hisses, and loud cries of " Hunt for ever ! he'll teach you all to mind what you're about.") . —He (Mr. S.) was sorry to see Mr. Dickinson where be sat—that place should be left to the honest freeholders, who would show the strength of hit clainis by coming up in multi tudes. It was ditgraCeftil for him to attend where such a Candi date wo to be seen. ---(Cries of " Hunt for ever!" and groans and cheers.)---" The man," said Mr. 'Stuckey, " has abilities, I `admit ; but the idea of his representing this county—good God ! how could such it thing enter his head ? What ! this county ? lam annulled to think of it. He might creep into Parliament for a rotten borough, but to represent this great county—good God ! it it the greatest absurdity. )" Mr. try it, howeVer, my jockey. 7 —(Loutl laughter.) Mr. S'rucltrr—The longer you go on the further you'll b e be , hind. Every man will bring disgrace upon himself who votes for you. Mr. Hu re—" One word," Arr. Sheriff, "My friend, Mr. Stuckey, says he is sabarned. Look at him. 'Why he has no more shame in his countenance than one of his own coal barges.— (Loud laughter.)—What an orator he is too ! The Lord bless us! Why he first tells the freeholders that there is no.necpsiity for any further exertions, and then he says to, them, ' dd all you can.' Now if they did not do something extraordinary very soon, Sir Thomas would be in a queer way. It is expected that I shall be driven nut of the county.; thst I shall never show my head in it again.---(Cries of " No, you never shall," and " Hunt for ever.") —Very well ; I assure you, most solemnly, that if by any chance should not, upon thin oceaKinn ',tweed, an:event I by no means anticipate-4aughter,)-1 shall main the experiment until 1 do." —(Cheers and violent .disapprobation.) Air. STUCKEY gave three cheers for the two old Metilbers, and three cheers for the Sheriff. • Mr. WAARF,N, the solicitor, gave three cheers fur Mr. Stuckey, and three {roans for Mr. Hunt. The Court Olen adjotuned. The moment ;gr. Hunt went outside, he addressed the crowd, and proposed three groans for Mr. Warren and the rest of the Attorneys. The groans were loud and long. MALDON. NALDOIi, EIGHT O'CLOCK. Upwards of two hours were spent in consultation, after which the Mayor returned and stated, from what had been laid, before him, he must reject the application made by Mr. Dick for a scru tiny against the return of Mr. Lennard ; and that made by Mr. Lennart' against the return of Mr. Winn. The I,tlayor then de clared Mr. Winn and Mr. Lennard to be duly elected. The Members severally addressed the electors, as did Mr. Dick, ,but the latter did not, in-any manner, pledge himself, to petition the House of Commons against the decision of the Mayor. After which, a vote of thanks to the Mayor, moved by Mr. Rutt, was carried by Acclamation. The chairing then took place. CHESTER-JUNE 22. The poll was dosed this morning in favour'of Lord Belgrave and Mr. Robert Grosvenor ; the latter having a majority over General Egerton of 18. One man had his thigh broken last night, and many were seri ously injured, fortunately no lives have been lost. Belgrave - 830 I Egerton - - '742 Grosvenor - - '760 Townshend - 6 The result of this day's poll has in all probability decided the issue of this severe contest, in favour of the corporation candidates, Sir C. Hastings and Mr. Cave. Indeed, it is only astonishing tha't Mr. Evans and Mr. Denman should have polled such a num ber of unbought honest votes. It was evident yesterday evening, that no efforts could recover the lost ground of the eigthth day's poll; but Mr. Evans's committee representing to him that un polled votes remained sufficient still to turn the scale in his favour, he continued the contest. The poll opened this morning at eight o'clock, and was declared at four as follows: Hastings -•- 2572 I Evans - - 1994 Cave - - 2492 I Denman - - 1752 LEICESTER-JUNE Q2.-(NINTH DAY.) Nearly WO votes were tendered, - but not recorded, in favour of the two latter candidates. • They were chiefly scot and lot voters without parochial settlement, and scot and lot residents in the Friars. On the other side a considerable number of honorary freemen polled, but these occasional gentlemen by no means an swered the expectations of their creators. The expense of trans porting themselves to the scene of action extinguished their no- Popery gratitude towards the corporation, who made them thus shamefelly to disfranchise the town. The two first candidates very shortly expressed their obligations to their friends. Mr. EVANS in a manly and spirited manner expressed his de termination not vexatiously to prolong the contest, but intimated 6;4 he should continue it one other day, that the disputed votes • in the name of Mr. Den v, ,legant speech : he gated that Mr. Denman, for professional reasons, had declined to sit again for Nottingham, and was now a voluntary candidate for Leicester. In all probability the election will terminate to-morrow. ••• von t orti.-.1"1 WEYMOUTH.---WEDNESDAY, Juxx 21. (From the Dorset County Chronicle.) The violent and tumultuous proceedings which haVe been car ried on here at this election are beyond description. From the great delay that had taken place on several former days, in conse quence of the Counsel on both sides disputing die legality of free holders' title deeds, the Mayor issued his orders and proclama tion that the hours of polling should be extended to such time as might be thought necessary, and the law would allow. On Mon day, when the hour of four arrived, the mob took possession of the hall, crying out, " Close the Poll! Close the Poll !" They then hustled the freeholders from the place of polling, got on the table of the Court, endeavoured to pull the Mayor from his chair, and committed the most daring outrages, in defiance of all law, in contempt of his magisterial authority, and in resistance to the civil power. The Riot Act was read, and an express was dis patched to Dorchester for the military. Previous to their ar rival, the lawless rabble committed depredations in the Town hall, and threatened to demolish the building. Many respec table characters were assaulted, and the most diabolical threats, affecting the lives of individuals, were made use of. The ap pearance of the military produced the desired effect. Yesterday the same violent and illegal proceedings were re peated. The Mayor, and Mr. Gould Read, the assessor, and other gentlemen, were again most shamefully insulted ; in short, if more effectual means are not adopted to protect the civit iauthu rity in its execution, it will be impossible that half , the free holders in the interest of Mr. Wallace, Mr. Ure, 'Mr. Buxton, and Ferrer, will be enabled to exercise their franchise at this election. The Mayor's staff (says another Correspondent) was broken before his face, and he was knocked down. Mr. Horaford nar rowly escaped with his life through the back premises. The in terior of the hall is greatly injured. WEDNESDAY EVENING,L—The Mayor experienced this after noon a renewal of the ItisUlti which we have above - described. Thus is the business of the election interrupted by a hired mob in the interest of the opposing candidate, Colonel Gordon. We understand that officers from Bow-street are arrived to assist in protecting the authorities of the Civil Magistrate during the remainder of the election, and will be sworn in this evening to act accordingly.

Thomas Wallace - - - urr Masterton Ure, F.sq. - - 130 James William Farrer, Esq. - - - 112 Colonel Gordon - - 144 In consequence of the riot and tumult which prevailed at four o'clock, the Mayor was compelled by force to close the poll and read the Riot Act. (From tio Chelmsford Chronicle.) The election for the botpugh of Maldon will clot* this day (Friday), and so early as three o'clock, if the statements put forth shall be found correct. ' Such t contest as that which will have been maintained fifteen days, between two of the candidates in par ticular (Mr. Lennard and Mr. Dick), has, we think, no parallel in the' recordS of the borough' of 51aldon. The most earnest perse verance favour of Mr. Lennard manifested itself in an early stage, his friends being'very desirous of showing their strength, by plieing him Millie first day at the head of the poll. This show of favour with the great body of electors' was but of short duration ; re's thi *acorn! day Mr. Winn took the lead, which proud situation he% 4,ontinnee to Anaintain, so gratifying to the friends of that geiythinnn,' end so' 'honourable to the freemen themselves.— On•tbe' litirt , Of Mr. Diek, it must be acknowledged that several 4haya elapsed • before that gentleman became sufficiently known, a nd there were some ttporra as regarded his introduction. to the borough through a connection by no means favourable to his in tereitt. Mr. Dick, however, although a perfect stranger, can didly declared his political sentiments, and openly avowed him self an enemy Ottholie Emancipation. After the lapse of a few • idaye, the Hon. Gentleman enlisted wider his banners oianyhighly respectable characters in the county, by whom his Mike has e•irYT since been'advocated, ,•and even at this lute hour they anticipate that the rotate Of the poll, as regards Mr. Dick and Mr. Lennart!, writ be reversed before three o'clock this day. To effect that ob ject on die one part, awl defeat it on du other, no distance has ,been thought too great to send for voters; and day have lbw spent by the partisans on each side to accomplish their um- Ibitious desires.

The polling commenced at half past eight ; Mr. Leonard polled the first. The polling is much in t.erruptell by the interference of the friends of the Candidates, who take the part of the Solicitors, and disc i owthe points in dispute, which would otherwise be more quickly decided. Perfect good homour prevails, and the most effectual measures nags been taken tti secure its continuance. The Mayof has given it out, that the hustings, hying private property, *hall not be , destroyed or pus. loined,—Thig will prevent that scramble. which has often pro duced riot and confusion, and the nu:awe is considered by all par ties s o judicious, that it will, no doubt, he respected.

Tuesday, the election of a Member of Parliament for the county of Lanark took place in the County Hall of Lanark, when, after the usual formalities were gone through, Admiral Fleming, the Chairman of the Meeting, proposed Lord Archibald Hamilton.— (Applause. ) Sir Hrsay STEWART, Bart. seconded the motion. No other candidate appearing, Mr. DRYSDALE, Sheriff-clerk, being sworn to render a faithful report, took the votes, and the result was, that Lord Archibald Hamilton was unanimously chosen, which being intimated from the Chair, was received with great applause. IRELAND. ( From the Dublin Patriot.) TIPPERARY.—The county election came on on Tuesday—that is, the preliminary forms were gone through, and to-day the polling was to have commenced. The Candidates are Messrs. Prittie, Hutchinson, and the Hon. Geo. Dawson, brother to Lord Port arlington. Mr. Prittie is the old Member--his election cannot be doubted. Messrs. Hutchinson and Dawson are new Candi dates, and were we disposed to estimate success, by undoubted claims, we should be as little disposed to doubt the success of Mr. Hutchinson, as of Mr. Prittie. Indeed we are informed, and we mention it to the honour, of the county, that almost all the lead ing interests, as well as the popular feeling, are as they ought to be, with Mr. Hutchinson. Mr. Dawson is a non-resident—he is personally unknown ; should he be elected he will still continue non-resident. His sole claim is through his brother, Lord Portar lington, and his most active partisan is a sort of masculine gentle woman who infests that county—Lady Glengall. COUNTY CAVAN.--By advices received to-day, we find that nothing could equal the excitement caused by the prospect of the Election to-day. A determined and persevering contest is ex pected. It is said that Mr. Maxwell and Mr. Saunderson have coalesced together ; and also Mr. Southwell and Mr. Coote. COUNTY DUBLIN.—The Election for this county commences on Friday. It is expected to be a long and severe contest. Mr. r Hamilton has not pledged himself against Catholic Emancipation : he has therefore not sworn against wisdom—and has avoided a positive insult to the Catholics. This was good sense, good taste, and good feeling; it must, it ought to mitigate any very excited hostility, and to this he will probebly owe his election. We have it from undoubted authority, that Mr. Hamilton will receive the undivided interest of Rush on the approaching election. MEMBERS RETURNED. [RIECEIVRD THIS MORNING.] LExcnsTEß—Hastings; Cave.

British interests in that distant quarter of the globe, and mentioned the probability if some other nations taking this step if we did not. Mr. HUSK ISSON paid great attention to the observaioss of the Deputation, and promised to cornmuniote with Earl BATHURST on the subject. It is so natural, and so excusable, for a beaten can didate to turn any poisible circumstance into a topic of consolation, and tc put, or try to put, a good face on defeat, that we ire not much disposed to quarrel with a gentleman ;11 that situation, for the use of any consideration in ‘list way; and if he can stretch it far enough to become enamoured with his minority, we should think a hard to dispel the pleasing illusion. But whilst sre are ready to allow a great latitude in the inst any extension of these unc tions, of such flattering unctions to one's so ul, we must protest a tions, should transform them into arguments on the ire/its of the case ; and, therefore , a lthou g h we willingly concede to Lord JOHN RUSSELL all the self-congratulation resulting from a somewhat hack neyed reference to the number of his plumpers, we ca nnot admit that this reference has the least p ossible tonnexion with an indicatiOn of a favourable se nse of the County of Huntingdon, towards the po litical party to which his Lordship belongs. Ther e a re instances, no doubt, in which a comparis on of Anvers, affords some correct. idea of the relative strength of the individuals, or the popularity o f their politics; and some, indeed, in which it may serve to show the triumph of a weaker over a stronger candi date. The election for Yorkshire in 1807, and that for Westminster in 1818, appear to us to afford good examples of our meaning. In the former, a severe contest took place 'between Lord LASCELL ES and Lord MILTON; whilst Mr. WILBEREORCE , by ob taining the second votes of the friends of both the Noble Lords, was placed at the head of the poll, although by far the weakest of the three ca ndidates ; and, therefore, the number of plumpers migh t, o n that occasion, have been fairly referred to, as e vidence of their respective strengths. The latter ca se is still more to the point. Sir MURRAY MAX WELL, Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY, and Sir FRANCIS B U R DETT, stood upon the most distinct grounds ; and it would have been a f a ir trial of the respective popularity of th e Tories, the Whigs, and the Radicals, if none but Anvers had been given : as it was, the comparis on of the single votes, actually given on tha t occasion, showed pretty clearly that Sir SAMUEL RostILLY , with all his boasted situation on the poll, was indebted, not for that only, but for his being re turned at all, to the circumst ance of the more direct contest between the other candidates, and the facility afforded to him of obtaining the second votes of their supporters. But in all eases like the election for the County of Huntingdon, it is absurd to draw any line between the plumpers on one side, and the double votes on the other. Wherever one Whig, and two Tory, candi dates,—but no, his Lordship will like the other way of putting it better—whenever one Tory, and two Whig, candidates start, in an opposition, not of indi viduals, but of parties, every elector who gives a double vote to the joint candidates, gives him of gives as much a f party plumper, as one who votes adverse. ju fa ctionjudge of he ;Pan s d en t s l e ie of re th su e lt el o e 44 e f eto th rs e . poll, ono comparison of the ay plumpers, afibrds the test by ca h he Some observations having; recently appeared in th e Daily Papers, upon the ineligibility of Mr. Btsii, and other Gentlemen, who are supposed to be under con tracts with the Government, to sit as Members of the House of Commons, we subjoin an extract from the Act, 22 G. 3, c. 45, which disables Government Con tractors from sitting and voting . as Members in the House of Commons.: In addition to this Act, the 41 G. 3, U.K. c. 52, s. 4, .declares all persons (except a few of the chief Officers of tne State), concerned in the collection or management of the public Revenue, incapable of being elected Members of the House of Commons : LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 24, 1926.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday, and the Etoile of Thursday morning, were repeived last night. It will be observed, that it is reported, on the authority of letters from Bucharest of the 30th of May, that the Russian Mail of the 22d of that month had not arrived from Constantinople, and that apprehensions had been excited thereby that some further delay had arisen to the departure of the Turkish Commissioners. This idea seems to be confirmed by the letters from Odessa of the 3d of June. We have never entertained but one opinion upoi this subject. We believe that the Divan bad no m tention to abide by the conditions of the Ultimatuh to which it assented, and that the present Treaty wil not be fulfilled with better faith than any of its pre decessors have been.

It appears that the friends of Mr. Fysehe Palmer still entertain hopes of turning the tables upon their opponents; a scrutiny is now openly talked of, and, notice having been given by means of handbills, a meeting took place at the Crown Inn yesterday even ing, which was numerously attended, when certain resolutions were agreed to relative to. the plan to be adopted in order to obtain their object. A subscription was also immediately entered into, for the purpose of defraying the necessary expellees, and a consi derable emu was immediately subscribed by those present. NORTHUMBERLAND, Al.wwwx, WEDNESDAY. ' Polling taiiimenett, to-day at 9 o'clock, and has proceeded up to four with little interruption. Such is the enthusiasm for Mr. Liddell, that an old man, exceeding a hundred, whose faded and emaciated appearance jndicated that be was on the verge of the grave, came to vote - for him, He was taken out of the chaise to the polling-booth in meths arms; but he was first obliged to get some wine and water to awaken his , senses. Two hundred of Mr. Beaumont's voters marched into town in a body to-day, preceded by a band and numerous flags, with various devices emblematic a his principles. In display, Mr. Beaumont heats all the other candidates, He has no less than three bands, all dressed in white, the colour of his party. The ear is eternally stunned with the discordant sounds of drums and flfts;,--for the unfortunate musicians are condemned to play through the town from sunrise to sunset. Mr: Lid dell has been fortunate enough to have won ever the ladies to his side. They are quite enthusiastic for him. There were a great number yesterday in the neighbourhood of the Incsrifign, nearly all of whoM held up their hands for him. It I said to be Mr,. Beaumont's intention to prolong the contest as long as he can, WI 4,41 - T to try the pockets of the other Candi dotes, whose fortunes cAnnoi; bear expence as well as his. He is considered to have the largest fortuife ip this county, next to the Duke of Northumberland. Mr. Lambton is the Moving power of Lord Howiek's party he has been attentively watching the voters in the booths to-day, attended by his son, whom I suppose he wishes to prepare for electioneering practices by early initia tion. Timnf t h much jealousy has been excited by his, active in terference, Lord Howi:ir is so young a man (not more than twenty .two), that his . party woold have slumbered at their post without Mr. Lambton's assistanes : The majority of the aergy, of course, support Mr. Bell , be twe e n Whom and them these js a coincidence of principle, but their influence dogs not predeminate.

PARIS, JUNE 20. Letters from Vienna, of June 12th, say that the Emperor and Empress were to set out on the 18th on an excursion to Lambach to meet the King of Bavaria on his return from Italy. It is thought that their Majesties will then return to Luxemburg. The Archduke Maximilian is gone to the Buckowina. Letters from Bucharest, of May 30, say, that the Russian Mail which was to leave Constantinople on the 22d, had not arrived, and that no news had been received from that capital. According to all appearance, the departure of the Turkish Commissioners must have been retarded, as they had not yet arrived at Bucharest. On the otker band, Letters faom Odessa, of June 3, say, that, according to news from Constantinople (of which the date is not given), the Turkish Commissioners had not yet set out ; which news, published by the Trieste Observer, states that Ibrahim Pacha had made himself master of Calavrite, where 6,000 Greeks, including women and children, had perished. The Civil Government of Napoli di Romania had been placed in the hands of four primates, - and Colocotroni had taken the military com mand. M. Bellart has been for the last forty-eight hours in very great danger. The western position of Piedmont, contiguous to France, con tains a little country of four villages, dependant on the Bishopric of Pignerol. The most considerable of these villages, that of St. Martin, is almost entirely inhabited by Vaudois, who took refuge there about the end of the 15th century. The Bishops of Pigne rol have neglected nothing to enlighten these people. Mr. Bi gex addressed a paternal letter to them. M. Rey, his successor, shows no less good intentions for the conversion of the Vaudois. A great number of them go to hear the prelate when he preaches in the churches, and many of them have been touched by his mild. ness and piety. Three Vaudois abjured their errors before tie Bishop on the 19th of March last. Another remarkable conver sion is that of Jean Daniel Tourn, a young Vaudois, son or the Syndic, or Mayor, of the mixed parish of Rosa. His atriaration took place on Easter Sunday after vespers, in the Catledral, in the presence of Messrs. Monteriel and Billet, Bishop, of Mous tiers and of Maurienne, whs were at Pignerol. The assemblage of the faithful was very considerable. The Bishop of Pignerol, with his two colleagues, and all his clergy, received the adjuration of young Tourn, wh.) appeared with an affecting look of modesty and Piety. Some lays afterwards, the young man developed to his father the grounds of his conversion, in a letter dated the sth April, which has jot been printed. The young man speaks to his father with mud candour and energy; he relates the history of his conversion, .so as to show that it is .the result of profound conviction. This letter besides informs us, that M. Tourn, sen., by virtue of thiePotestant tolerance, will not see his son, and has written to him sever to appear again in the paternal dwelling. We shall recur to this letter, which is honourable to religion and to Mr. J. D. Tourn. On Friday, the 18th, the Abbe Meurice was violently struck several times on the Pont Royal, at eight in the evening, in broad day light; and, we are ashamed to soy, no citizen attempted to arrest the wretch who insulted this venerable priest. Was Abbe Meurice a Missionary--a Jesuit? No :he is merely the Vicar of the parish of St. Sulpice, who is known only by his good works and his virtues. had just been comforting and assisting a sick person, in the parish of St. Roch, to whom he had been summoned, and this is the reward for the worthy Ministers of the Gospel. In the list of persons who havecrossed the channel, we find the Marquess de Bassano, the Marquess d'Harcourt, Peer of France, and General Sebastiani, going to England ; and coming to France, Sir F. Burdett and the Viscount de Larochefoucault.; and 592 passengers have arrived at Calais, and 362 left it. (From Galiynani's Messesenyer,dated June 21.) On Saturday the Commission of the Chamber of Peers con cluded the examination. of General Bordesoulle, and heard as 'a witness M. Graeb, sub .military intendant. On Monday the wit nesses heard were General Andreossy, Director-General of Sub, sistencies among the administration of the Duke of Belluno, M. Menou, Magazure Kuher, of the Mont de Piete, and M. Gabriel Jules Ouvrard, whose examination continued yesterday.
